<description><![CDATA[This is the type of warning you will see if Facebook detects a type of malware attack that requires user action.  Facebook is launching several new security features today designed to protect users from malware and from getting their accounts hijacked. First, the site will display warnings when users are about to be duped by clickjacking and cross-site scripting attacks in which they think they are following a link to an interesting news story or taking action to see a video and instead end up spamming their friends. For example, a scam was circulating yesterday in which Facebook users were inadvertently commenting on what looked like a news site with details of theiPhone 5. Clicking on the link leads to a page with a captcha window and if it is clicked the spam is then spread on a user's Facebook page. Another one was spreading today that urged people to verify their accounts by clicking on something. Facebook was quickly removing those posts. In cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, people are often asked to cut and paste Javascript or another type of code into their browser Web address bar in order to see a video or get a free product, for instance. But the code ends up doing something else entirely.  Both types of attacks take advantage of a vulnerability in the Web browser, and Facebook says it is working with the major browser companies to fix the underlying issue. Internet Explorer 9 already has some protections against this in place.  But now, Facebook will display a warning to users if it detects that suspicious activity is going on behind the scenes. To block clickjacking, the site will ask users to confirm their &quot;like&quot; before posting a story to their profile and their friends' News Feeds. And to prevent XSS attacks, Facebook will ask users to confirm that they meant to take the action.  Facebook also is offering two-factor authentication called &quot;Login Approvals,&quot; which if turned on will require users to enter a code whenever they log into the site from a new or unrecognized device. The code is sent via text message to the user's mobile phone. Facebook is now warning users when a link they are clicking on appears to lead to malware. Finally, Facebook is partnering with the free Web of Trust safe surfing service to give Facebook users more information about the sites they are linking to from the social network. When a user clicks on a potentially malicious link, a warning box will appear that gives more information about why the site might be dangerous. The user can either ignore the warning or go back to the previous page.  The information from Web of Trust, which has rated more than 31 million sites, is in addition to Facebook's internal black list of sites that it blocks users from sharing. <br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Would a cross-platform version of BlackBerry Messenger benefit RIM(Credit:BlackBerry.com)Research In Motion is said to be prepping cross-platform versions of its popular BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) application for release later this year. According to multiple sources close to Boy Genius Report (BGR), an Android version &quot;is definitely a go&quot; with an iOS counterpart also on the horizon. Android Atlas reached out to RIM to confirm the report, but spokeswoman Marisa Conway responded that &quot;RIM's standard policy is to decline comment on rumors and speculation.&quot;One theory is that a stripped-down, lighter version of BBM will allow Android users to communicate across platforms with other clients, with RIM reserving additional features for the BlackBerry. Android and iOS users would presumably be able only to chat, while BlackBerry owners will still be able to share location and pictures with one another. It's unknown at this point whether or not the Android app would carry a cost, but BGR believes that the client would be free. One idea could be to offer the free version to all with a paid, full-featured client available that would add to RIM's bottom line.This could pan out to be a good move for RIM, providing a platform-agnostic service for mobile users. And instead of having zero presence on Android and iOS, it could come in and dominate a market it helped to establish.The BlackBerry Messenger has been around for a longer time and carries more weight than competitors such as Kik and WhatsApp. With both of these apps already amassing more than 1 million Android downloads each, RIM could potentially be looking at millions of its own.
